My DW 5000 Accelerator AD3 double pedal just came about half an hour.
I set it up, adjusted it, and snapped some pictures.
First impressions:
-The hardware itself is ROCK SOLID. Nothing moves, everything is sturdy.
-It looks GREAT with my kit. Seriously. Red and black, red and black, red and black.
Everything feels very smooth, except not one million times better than my PDPs.
I definitely need to get some new beaters, because one of these is completely worn away (just the felt side) but it's still 100% playable.
There is one problem, however:
Basically, on the slave beater, something seems broken.
When I use the pedal slowly, it moves forward, then kind of mechanically rocks back and forth a bit, then keeps going.
It feels like something is loose, but I have all of the nuts and bolts tightened.
EDIT: After some experimenting, I discovered that the problem is the little thing that connects the beater to the main pedal is loose, and it wobbles.
I'll take a video of the problem if nessecary, and it'd be awesome if you guys could help.
On with the pics!
